  • 6: The Art of Sharing Knowledge in Teams

    6: The Art of Sharing Knowledge in Teams
    2025/03/10
    How does a growing SaaS company keep track of important knowledge? From server setups to customer success playbooks, every company builds a wealth of internal information—but too often, that knowledge is scattered, siloed, or locked away in someone’s head. In this episode, John, Kris, and Garrett explore how to document and share company knowledge effectively. They discuss real-world challenges, like merging Rails apps and ensuring critical infrastructure knowledge isn’t lost, as well as how to balance text-based documentation with video walkthroughs. Takeaways: Company knowledge management is crucial for team efficiency. Identifying challenges in knowledge sharing helps improve processes. Technical documentation should be thorough and accessible. Centralizing information can streamline communication. Choosing the right tools is essential for effective documentation. Video can enhance knowledge transfer but should be concise. Documentation needs to be regularly updated to remain relevant. AI has the potential to automate documentation processes. Creating a culture of knowledge sharing is important. Feedback from users can guide improvements in knowledge management. Key Quotes: "If you document nothing, the only knowledge management system you have is luck." "Slack is great for quick answers but terrible for long-term knowledge storage." "Your team should always know where to look before they have to ask." "Documentation is a moving target."

  • 5: Tech Wins & Hiring Woes: How to Communicate, Celebrate, and Find the Right People

    5: Tech Wins & Hiring Woes: How to Communicate, Celebrate, and Find the Right People
    2025/02/05
    Celebrating tech wins in a way that resonates with customers can be tricky—so how should SaaS companies do it? John, Kris, and Garrett break down how they approach communicating improvements, from backend optimizations to feature rollouts. They debate whether customers care about upgrades like Rails 6 and share ideas on writing updates that connect with both technical and non-technical users. The conversation then shifts to hiring—how to evaluate developers, why trade-offs are crucial in the interview process, and the unique challenges of hiring remote vs. local talent. John shares insights from his GitHub hiring experience, Kris talks about building teams for different projects, and Garrett explores the psychology behind finding people who truly align with company culture. The episode wraps up with wins of the week, including major Fireside updates, basketball coaching victories, and a heated discussion about Notre Dame football. Key Quotes "If you don't celebrate, it can feel like nothing is happening—even when big things are." "Customers don't care about Rails upgrades, they care about how fast and smooth their experience is." "Hiring is as much about culture fit as it is about technical ability." Takeaways Celebrating tech wins authentically is crucial for customer engagement. Customers care more about stability and bug fixes than technical upgrades. Effective communication of tech improvements can enhance customer trust. Hiring processes differ significantly between startups and larger companies. Cultural fit is essential when hiring, especially in remote teams. Technical evaluations should focus on problem-solving and trade-offs. Building a positive company culture requires intentional effort and understanding. Non-technical founders can benefit from involving technical friends in hiring. Celebrating small wins can boost team morale and motivation. Understanding employee motivations is key to fostering a supportive work environment.
